Abstract

Tile and ceramic arts, which are intangible cultural assets, are ancient Turkish arts that came to Anatolia with the Seljuks in the past. The arts of tiles and ceramics, which have their roots in prehistoric times and continue their uninterrupted development until today, are among the basic works of human culture. The preservation of these cultural artifacts within the framework of SOKÜM is of great importance in terms of keeping the culture, which is the symbol and identity of past civilizations, alive. Today, it is seen that there is a tendency to new searches in connection with the style, composition order and form of tile and ceramic motifs. These designs, which are completely the product of commercial interests, have created a completely different composition style by including many irrelevant motifs in the composition. Designs now gain an eclectic appearance and lose their originality. According to today's aesthetic understanding, it is necessary to question the art of ceramics and tiles in the context of new products and likely concepts. Ensuring this change without alienating from its essence and identity and creating social awareness in this context can only be possible by protecting and keeping this intangible cultural heritage alive within the framework of SOKÜM.
